Did you take that picture.  Or find it.  Looks to me like the night shift playing a prank.

They are selling it at the single bottle price x case amount.  Still a ripoff.
1.99 x 12 = $23.88
1.69 x 24 = $40.56

I don't think there allowed to exceed a certain percentage higher than the msrp unlike gas they can make there price anything as long as they only change it once a day. My prices where slightly higher only because of the danger involved with flood water but it was less than 10 persent plus who else are you gonna get to fix your hot water heater at 330 am or set up a geny to run your sump in 65 mph winds??
Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

As had been said before. The price per case is nothing more than the normal selling price of one bottle times the number of bottles.
Quote
1.69 x 24 = $40.56

This is how I think the signs got onto the case: A customer took a case to the register (prior to the price being posted) figuring on paying somewhere around $4 - 8 for the case. The cashier rang up $1.69 a bottle twenty four times and came up with $40.56. This figure infuriated the customer who then caused a scene. The manager came over and the customer tossed some unmentionable names at the manager. The manager then ordered the sign to be put on the case to eliminate any future outbursts from disgruntled (rightfully so) customers.

Not illegal but, not a classy move.

That's my story and I ain't taking it back.
